    My surface pro is okay whenever I have to take a windows laptop to a job site. The unreliability comes from Windows 11, but the hardware has been fine.

    Hell you can have an overspec’d gaming PC and Windows still sucks the life out of it.

      No, I am talking about the hardware. At least 4 seperate people I’ve spoken to had nothing but issues with work assigned surfaces. At least a cursory google turned up a few threads with similar sentiments.

        Work assigned laptops are usually treated very poorly and die early.

        Surfaces have pretty solid hardware (repairablity like is like Mac’s) and they work pretty well with Linux.

      Never heard of such a thing? Care to elaborate?

      Not that I’m defending Windows, it’s a POS
